<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 976902, member: 5833"]Well, auctioneers' fine print tends to come down to <i>caveat emptor</i>. Probably that is how the consignor has represented it; they're letting you know they cannot confirm. It's a good cameo, so fair chance it is gold, although maybe not very high in purity. Wonder if there were some dangles that attached at the sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think of these generically as 'noblewomen', pretty ladies with more money. As it is being reproduced on my monitor, the color is odd, much more blue than the usual sea green color. Maybe just lighting & need for cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]205134[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205135[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The combination of subject, color & style puts it 1890 - 1920.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
